"It's he-e-e-re"... the most heart-pounding, jump-out-of-your-seat, scream-worthy book in the Save the Cat! series.
Veteran horror screenwriter and novelist Jamie Nash leads us into the shadows of Blake Snyder's legendary Monster in the House genre--and sheds light over the secrets to crafting truly terrifying tales.
Save the Cat! Writes Horror is your guide to writing and delivering blood-chilling films and novels using the world's most successful storytelling method, including:
- A deep dive into horror's core ingredients--Monster, House, and Sin--with subtypes, examples, and tools to help you design your own uniquely terrifying tale
- The mad science of turning Save the Cat!'s 15 beats into a horror story that builds tension, sharpens scares, and leaves your audience squirming
- How to balance Scares, Gross-outs, and Dread to torment your audience just right
- Why knowing your horror's heartbeat--Slow Burn vs. Relentless--changes everything
- How to use the Dread-O-Meter to engineer terrifying scenes with precision
- How to build memorable horror characters--from first-to-die victims to final girls and guys--while exploring how their flaws, choices, and arcs mirror deeper fears and social truths
- Plus: real case studies, scarecraft tools, career advice, and a deep dive into what makes the genre tick (and bleed)
Whether you're a screenwriter, novelist, or seasoned horrorhound, Save the Cat! Writes Horror will help you write the kind of story that lingers long after the lights go out.
